If it helps put your mind at ease I'll say this. Based on your age, (but often even in older persons), visible blood after a bowel movement is statistically more likely to be related to something more benign such as hemorrhoids, anal fissure, or diverticula. More serious diseases such as Crohn's Disease or even Colon cancer are still possible, so I do advise discussing with your doc if you can.

Why would someone have blood in stool? I don't have insurance and can't afford a doctor. If I had a hard bowel movement right before, and it stops after, I should be ok, right?
